I saw this on torqheads web site. It says they designed it. Hard to believe it would be worth it for them to do so with such a limited amount of possible customers. I was wondering if its possibly for a newer car from the factory. Has anyone seen one on a stock car? If not if your in junk yard keep your eyes open. I have modified my stock alt. so it fits the caprice with normal valve covers (not notched like stock). I still have to remove it to take valve cover off. they have pics and a drawing of it. Here is the link to there site.

my guess is they are from a LS truck/van, maybe they piece together a couple different ones...

Maybe, but I'm glad they came out with it. Let's not poop on vendors that are supporting a relatively rare motor.
I have been in contact with the owner of Torqhead and he is one smart dude.

the price for it is not bad i always like upgrading with factory parts so if i break down somewhere i can get the parts to get back on road. i have a electric water pump on my car so i picked up a good used one. so on long trips i will have it with me incase.
